It's 18 to possess any rifle/pistol. The 21 year thing applies to FFL holders. They cannot sell a pistol to anyone under 21. Ain't it nice how the govt plays regulatory games to deny you your rights?
The convictions were for knowingly transferring a handgun to a minor. The keyword is knowingly. And I'm pretty sure he was forced to plead guilty to this charge as part of the overall plea deal. I think his real crime was possession of an illegal sawed off shotgun. And don't forget a lot of political pressure was involved in this to blame someone (other than the actual murders and their negligent parents). This poor bastard was going to be guilty of something no matter what.
